Super League matches in Greece will take place over the next two months without any spectators, according to AMNA.gr.
The announcement was made by Greece’s government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis on Monday during a press briefing.
It follows the recent incident of sport violence from last week where a 31-year-old police officer was seriously injured during a Olympiakos volleyball game.
Μαρινάκης: Όσο ψηλά και αν βρίσκονται αυτοί που υποκινούν ή έστω ανέχονται την οπαδική βία, εμείς θα συνεχίσουμε την προσπάθεια και τον αγώνα για να νικήσουμε σε αυτήν την μάχη. pic.twitter.com/X7YWJ82a11

The spectator ban will commence from now until February 12, 2024.
Marinakis shared that the ban also extends to the Greek Cup games and friendly matches of Super League 1 teams, as well teams playing in Super League 2.
He said that the ban “for obvious security reasons be extended to the Olympiacos FC match next Thursday for the Europa League.”
